How long before threads typically get approved?

I submitted a thread about 10 hours ago and i still haven't seen it pop up. Is this typical?

Maybe you posted it in an area that you aren't allowed to post in.

If the post was in a moderated forum (Being Tenacious or Tenacious Talk) it will never be approved. More likely it will be moved to another folder.

If it's a post in the Q&A forum, the post is approved when it has an answer. We've found that if we approve it before then, lots of helpful members will answer it, and not always correct. So we reserve approval until an official answer is found.

It was the Q&A Forum. I investigated when I saw this thread and discovered that one of the questions had been answered, but Matt had forgotten to approve the thread. The other one just hadn't been answered.
